Page 80 - AVN June 2020

“I look back at my life and I’m thankful for
it but I am the type of person when I start
things I’m so headstrong and driven.”
Adriana Chechik stood within 40 feet of white rhinos on the Sabi Sabi Game Reserve in
Kruger National Park in South Africa in the fall.
She watched a zebra run past her and came too close for comfort to a pair of hyenas.
The 2017 AVN Female Performer of Year fulfilled a dream when she hung off the edge of
Victoria Falls—one of the largest waterfalls in the world at 360 feet high—in Zambia.
She smoked “crazy hash” in Qatar, “discovered magic” in Thailand, explored the
Australian Outback and marveled at the most spectacular fireworks show she’d ever
seen on New Year’s Eve on Copacabana Beach in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
When the notorious performer also known as “BratNasty” isn’t pushing her sexual limits
on camera, there’s a good chance she’s quenching her wanderlust.
“Oh my gosh I love it—I love traveling,” Chechik says. “It’s like I feel even crazier now
that we’re stuck in quarantine because for me the breaking point was when they shut off
Europe.
“Because I actually had—I’m missing four trips right now. And hopefully it’ll happen…
at the end of June I was supposed to go to Italy for 20 days. And then the Slovenian Alps
to do an 11-day after that of just biking and canoeing and canyoneering. “I feel like the
only time I ever get true growth or understanding is when I travel.
“Because you can put somebody in a room in a situation but until they go somewhere
and actually experience how other people live—whether it’s good or bad—you don’t
really grasp it. “It makes me appreciate everything in life.”
Dressed in a comfy blue hoodie with Nike emblazoned on the chest with no makeup
on, the natural beauty is quarantining at her home in the San Fernando Valley as the city
of LA navigates its fourth week of lockdown due to the coronavirus pandemic.
“I got out for a hike today,” Chechik says. “My dogs are so crazy they literally don’t let
me get any sleep and they follow me around the house. And when I say that, it’s not like
a normal dog. They’re crazy about it because they’re terriers.
“So I was like, alright I’ve got to take you somewhere.”
Chechik tells me she’s thrilled about her second cover of AVN magazine. Her first was
in March 2017—two months after she claimed the AVN Performer of the Year crown.
That image saw an ecstatic Chechik planting a kiss on the cheek of Mick Blue—the Male
Performer of the Year—when he hoisted her up in the winner’s circle backstage.
“I’m so excited because the only other time I’ve been on the cover of AVN I was crying,”
Chechik says. “It’ll be nice to see myself looking glamorous.”
It’s that combination of effortless glamour coupled with an insatiable appetite for
hardcore sex that has catapulted Chechik to future legend status in industry circles, not
to mention attracted a global fan following.
